Overview

1Forge provides real-time forex (foreign exchange) market data via a REST API, covering currency pairs, conversion rates, and market status. An API key is required; a free tier with limited requests per day is available. It is designed for developers building trading dashboards, currency converters, or financial applications that need live forex data.

Beginner Tip

Sign up at 1forge.com to get your API key. Start by calling the /quotes endpoint with a list of currency pairs such as EURUSD,GBPUSD to get bid and ask prices. All requests require ?api_key=YOUR_KEY.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized Missing or invalid api_key query parameter

✓ Append ?api_key=YOUR_KEY to every request. Verify your key is active in the 1forge.com dashboard.

Currency pair not found Using incorrect pair format; pairs must be in the format XXXYYY without separators

✓ Use the format EURUSD or GBPJPY (6-character codes with no dash or slash). Check the /symbols endpoint for the full list.

Rate limit exceeded Exceeded the daily request quota on the free plan

✓ Cache the latest quotes on your server and throttle requests. Upgrade for higher daily limits.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
